Salamander launches new CTbathroom pump

Salamander Pumps, the leading UK shower pump manufacturer, is adding the new CTBathroom pump to its popular, best selling CT range.

CTBathroom, the pump designed for bathrooms, has been specially designed to meet all the water demands in the bathroom and will quietly and efficiently boost the hot and cold supplies to showers, baths, basins, toilets and other utility appliances.

Pump designed for bathrooms

Research has told Salamander that installers want a flexible, easy-to-specify pump installation to boost water performance to the whole bathroom. The CTBathroom range is an ideal solution for those that want an affordable product to pump supply to their bathroom.

If using just the hot water to run a bath or just the cold water to fill the toilet cistern, the pump is effectively only pumping from one side. This can mean that the other side can overheat, suffering from what is commonly known as ‘closed head running’. The CTBathroom range, which has higher bar ratings to increase pressure performance, also incorporates the unique crossover technology which ensures that water runs through both sides of the pump via an integrated bypass channel. This prevents over heating of the ‘closed head’ side of the pump irrespective of whether the hot or cold side is running separately.

Pumps installers can trust

Installers now have a full choice of shower specific or multi-outlet pumps under a familiar and trusted brand that gives them a straightforward, reliable solution to all water performance issues in the bathroom or utility room. As such, CTBathroom boasts all the quality engineering improvement already found in the new CT range including small and powerful motor design, electronic switching and higher efficiency waterway housing. The range includes CTBathroom Universal that would be the correct pump for negative head installations.

Chris Vallance, Salamander’s Sales & Marketing Director, points out the wider opportunity for the new CTBathroom product, “as well as our heartland of trade counter sales, we believe that CTBathroom is the perfect offer for Bathroom showrooms which are specifying high performance taps and showers requiring high water flow rates. Historically, selecting the right pump for the application has not always been an easy process for showroom and trade counter staff, and even installers; we believe this range just makes things that bit easier for everyone”.

The Salamander sales team will be presenting the new CTBathroom range to customers with details of the full range proposition and market opportunity for this high value, premium pump. This new range bridges the gap between Salamander’s CTXtra and RHP whole house range. Marketing support includes literature and national advertising, in branch point of sale and a full working product display on the Salamander demonstration van. CTBathroom comes with a standard 2 year warranty, with an additional 1 year available free of charge through the Pumpwise service scheme.
